minus-squarewise_pancake@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·29 days agoEffectively yes. They give you $200. You give the NDP $200. You get $150 back at tax time. Now you have $150, the NDP has $200, so you’ve effectively had Ford give the NDP $150.
minus-squareNotSteve_@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·28 days agoThis should be a campaign. Imagine if even 5% of people gave their $200 to the NDP. It would be so funny if this election bribe gave the NDP enough money to win
